How Is a TDR Program Administered?
To be successful, a TDR program must be rigorously enforced and administered in a methodical fashion. The agency charged with implementing and operating the TDR program must have the technical ability to design and operate it. When implemented, the agency will also be relied upon to handled the program’s operation and enforcement of the development restrictions. I would envision that it would take a two or three person staff similar to the Land Bank to operate the program. Based on our experience with the Buck Mountain Development Agreement, the program should not be administered through existing departments without the commensurate increase in staff.
